Skopelos Attractions

Skopelos poses as the fictional island of Kalokairi in the movie
Mamma Mia and is home to many attractions, including 380 churches,
a number of gorgeous beaches and a wonderful display of spring wild
flowers and butterflies (from April to May). There are both sand
beaches, such as Staphylos and Limnonari, and pebble beaches, like
Panormos and Milia. In winter, the island is sometimes covered in a
beautiful blanket of snow. Other Skopelos attractions include the
Folklore Museum of Skopelos and the National Marine Park, which is
the largest marine conservation area in Europe and a glorious area
to explore. The main draw of the island is its beautiful natural
landscapes and the fact that it is still largely unspoiled by
tourist infrastructure - though it is easy to get around and all
necessary amenities are in place.

Skopelos is a great place for romantic getaways or family
holidays. There are wonderful beaches for children, such as
Staphylos and Panormos, where kids can snorkel and swim, as well as
a few deserted coves at Amarandos beach to picnic at. Horse riding
is available for children on the island, as well as various sailing
trips for all ages to enjoy.
